Happy New Year! As many expressed all over social media—2016 was rough and it was no different for me. There were so many ups and downs, changes, challenges, revelations and accomplishments, but none of these things were easy to come by. I started the year quitting my job of almost three years, and focused only on my business for about eight months.
